BIOGRAPHY

I learned to think visually at an early age. Growing up in the house designed by my father, surrounded by my mother's paintings and brother's product designs, making art was pretty normal. Making art, for me, is a way of understanding something better. A career in graphics taught me to search for the fundamental elements when designing a logo or illustrating a story. In my paintings as well, I reduce the subject to an icon - visualizing it's essential form - and in the process get to know it more fully. I hope my appreciation and interpretation of the subject stimulates a new awareness in those who see the resulting art. I hope you enjoy the work. Making art is an immensely satisfying, though solitary, compulsion. Sharing it with others is one of the best ways I know to connect.
